?

Black clouds crush the city. In the distance, there was muffled thunder in the sky, and lightning flickered faintly. Several old ministers came one after another, and they were all shocked after listening to Xu Jin's explanation. At this moment, the wind blew fiercely, the sand and rocks flew, a bright light tore through the darkness, and a thunderous thunderbolt exploded in the ears, and the subsequent raindrops crackled down with hail.

"Born with a vision, there must be demons!" an old minister looked up to the sky and sighed, and the white beard of the 'flower' flew in the wind.

A sneer appeared on his lips, and he squinted at the lightning and listened to the thunder, God, you have to help me once!

These old ministers have long been 'made' by the prince's new policy to complain, but they are suffering from Qiheng's serious illness and have nowhere to redress their grievances, and now they have such a great opportunity, how can they easily let it go!

"Queen Mother, this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise, the body of the Holy Dragon will be damaged, and the old minister will not be blind!" Another old minister wept and wept.

Qi Min nodded slightly to me, and I took a step forward and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this palace also knows that this matter is very important, so I invite the adults to come and go to the East Palace with this palace, and then the matter will be clear." Then he parted ways to 'Chun': "Pass on the handwritten edict of the main palace, order General Huo to surround the East Palace, and no one is allowed to enter and leave without permission! Ladies and gentlemen, come with me!"

Fearless of wind and rain, we went straight to the East Palace. When they arrived at the 'gate' of the East Palace, the prince had already clashed with Huo Qing, and the guards behind him drew their swords and faced each other, but Huo Qing still blocked the 'gate' and didn't let them go out.

"Where are you going, Your Highness the Prince?" I asked as I walked over with my head held high, mockingly.

When the prince saw me, instead of saluting, he asked angrily: "What do you mean? Do you think that your father is seriously ill and can give orders? This palace is the prince, and there is this palace in one day, and it is not your turn to call the shots!"

The old minister behind me stood up and said: "Your Royal Highness, the queen mother is your queen mother, you are disrespectful and disrespectful to your elders, but you are not the demeanor of a prince!"

I also said, "Do you think this palace wants to come? If it weren't for such a big thing happening here, how could this palace put down the seriously ill emperor and not take care of you here! Xu Jin, you come out!"

Xu Jin walked out and said: "The East Palace has done the scourge of witchcraft, and Weichen has seen it with his own eyes, so he specially told the queen to come and investigate thoroughly!"

The prince's face changed greatly, and he pointed at him and scolded: "Xu Jin, you are talking nonsense! This palace treats you well, why do you wronged this palace?"

I said coldly: "Has he wronged you, you will know after a check! Will the prince get out of the way by himself, or will the palace push you aside?"

The prince glared at me viciously, without saying a word, without the slightest concession.

The thunder roared, the hail rain became heavier and heavier, and the oil-paper umbrella seemed to be unable to cover it, and it was about to be pierced.

My 'leg' was aching again, and I saw that the stalemate was stalemate, and if the prince didn't get out of the way, I don't know if I was really going to tear my face with him.

Qi Min walked up to the crown prince and said in a low voice: "You can't say anything to people, you haven't done it, it doesn't hurt to let them go in and check it out." If you insist on a stalemate, I am afraid that it will attract a lot of dissatisfaction, and what matters now is that you do not leave any truth behind. ”

Just a few words, the prince glanced at him and got out of the way.

I didn't expect the prince to listen to Qi Min so much! No wonder he was used and framed by Qi Min and didn't know it.

Smoothly entering the East Palace, Xu Jin took us to the big locust tree, and I immediately ordered someone to start digging.

The torrential rain washed away the already wet dirt, and the 'squires' quickly dug up an ebony box under the locust tree. Xu Jin handed the box to me with his own hands and said, "Niangniang, this is it!"

'Spring' was busy 'straightening' up to block it, and said: "Niangniang, this is filth, Niangniang can't touch it!"

Xu Jin said: "Then let Weichen come!"

I nodded, and he opened the box, and sure enough, it was a puppet and a few runes, and the puppet had a birthday on it, and it was full of silver needles.

"It seems...... It's the emperor's birthday......"

Someone whispered 'private' words, which caused the old ministers to wail in pain, and all the words were directed at the prince.

The prince roared angrily: "Impossible! This is impossible! I have never seen these things, I don't know where these things come from! Xu Jin, you hurt me!"

I ignored his roar and asked Xu Jin, "Do you know where those monks came from?

Xu Jin said: "Those monks are all from Fahua Temple and Sanqingguan, and after the Midyear Festival, they will go back separately." ”

I immediately ordered people to go to Fahua Temple and Sanqingguan to arrest all the monks that day, and said coldly to the prince: "Your Highness, whether you have anything to say or not, this palace doesn't want to hear it now! Come here, spread the decree of the palace, the prince is suspected of witchcraft, and he will be banned from the East Palace from now on! No one is allowed to contact except the relatives of the East Palace! Huo Qing, replace all the guards in the East Palace with your people, if anyone does not respect the decree of the palace, there will be no forgiveness!"

Huo Qing replied loudly: "Yes, the last general will obey the order!"

The prince still wanted to resist stubbornly: "You demon queen, why do you ......" Before he finished speaking, he was put on his neck by Huo Qing with a steel knife and shouted: "His Royal Highness the Prince, please move!" The prince was not lightly patted, and turned around and glared at him fiercely, but he was finally afraid of Huo Qing's thunderous momentum, and followed him in a daze.

I quickly glanced at Qi Min and ordered everyone: "Go back to Nanxun Palace!"

Only halfway to the road, he met Cao Hong, he was soaked, but he was still full of excitement and said: "Niangniang, the queen mother......! His Majesty...... He's up!"

I was stunned, and I was stunned for a moment. Then an old minister said happily: "The witch Gu has been dug up, so the emperor is fine! God bless my emperor, God bless my emperor!"

The rest of the people also responded, and the doubts in my heart welled up again: What a coincidence, what a coincidence! I turned back to look for Qi Min, but found that he had not followed.

When I returned to the Nanxun Hall and saw Qiheng sitting and drinking 'medicine', I didn't know how to explain.

Called Shen Qi aside and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shen Qidao: "Weichen didn't know, at that time, Weichen was studying the 'medicine' prescription with several adults, but he suddenly heard Gonggong Jiang shouting that the emperor had woken up. We walked in to ask the emperor for a pulse, only to find that the emperor's pulse had returned to normal, as if it had been cured all of a sudden!"

"Who was by the emperor's side at that time?"

Shen Qi thought for a while and said, "There are only Gonggong Jiang and Gonggong Cao. ”

I frowned and remained silent.

Jiang Shouquan came out and whispered to me: "Niangniang, the emperor already knows about the witch Gu in the East Palace, please go in!"

I said I knew, let him go in first, and I'll come later. Then he said a few words to Shen Qi. Shen Qi was shocked, lowered his voice and said, "Niangniang is suspicious of the emperor...... Poisoned?"

"Yes, but I just doubt that I don't dare to jump to conclusions. You check his pulse every day, but what have you ever noticed?"

Shen Qi still shook his head after thinking deeply, and said, "Some poisons cannot be identified by pulse diagnosis alone, and the emperor's body ......."

"I know, I don't have to say anything about it, I'll find out. "I didn't dwell on the topic anymore, and I changed my clothes and walked into the dormitory to deal with a bigger problem.
